Creawell: An Original Storyboard Series
MarkGatlinVA for Philip Watanabe
Philip Watanabe is a 27 year old half-english, half-japanese male who stands at around 6'5. Most people would consider him to be a nervous wreck and quite the doormat. He's awkward and a little bit of a coward, but extremely loyal and kindhearted. When it comes to his friends, he'd drop everything for them. He always tries to see both sides of the story and create peace. Throughout the story we see Philip come from being a timid, awkward fellow to blossoming into a determined, encouraging leader and learning the art of accepting yourself the way you are.
Philip was born with a stutter, so I do require voice actors to be able to respectfully replicate that. Nothing over-the-top. He was heavily inspired by Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds, with his fast-paced and nervous form of speech. Although I would prefer to have Philip talk in an English accent. (Preferably Standard British, Geordie or Essex) I am also open to him having an American one. However, if you would like to tackle the English accent, please make it sound genuine.
(Introducing) "P-Philip Watanabe, sir. I work with the FBI...wait sh-shit... am I allowed to say that? Uh... I am twenty seven--uh, graduated from Arizona S-s-state, Aaaand n-now I live here. I-Is that good enough? (Nervous laugh)"
(Frantic) "Bloody hell... Zion, what are you doing? We-we aren't e-even armed! We have to get out of here before-Oh my WORD, ZION! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?"
(Uplifting) "Look... w-we only have 10 hours to go then we'll be there. You realize he's comp-pletely infatuated with her, right? He doesn't have the guts to kill her... He was jussst trying to scare us into coming sooner. We need to attack him when he has given up and won't expect anything f-from us anymore. Stay determined."
Great delivery and voice. However, the stutter was just a *little* over the top. Overall, good job!
Sorry about that! This was my first time trying a character with a stutter. Thanks for the feedback!
All good! Feel free to erudition if you'd like!
